Bath Beauty Babe’s Strawberry Cheesecake Sugar Body Scrub

Instagram will be the death of me! There is nothing worse than a visual platform throwing pictures in my face of bath and body products. It literally is a shop front window living in my phone screen! Temptation getting the better of me, I made an order from a Manchester based small business called Bath Beauty Babe (formally known as Jenny Makes For You). One of the products I ordered was Strawberry Cheesecake Sugar Body Scrub which was on sale for £5.10 instead of £8.50.

Why did I buy this?

I’ve had my eye on this vendor’s products for ages. I needed a body scrub so this being on sale was timed perfectly. The look of this, the name, the scent description hooked me in 110%.

What does this do?

This is a sugar based scrub with cocoa butter and coconut oil. These ingredients will provide a hardworking body scrub, while moisturising the skin during and after use.

Packaging

240g of scrub comes in a lidded plastic tub. The labelling is fun and the tub itself is clear so you can see what pampering product is in it.

Hoes does this look?

It LOOKS just like a cheesecake! If you look at the side of the packaging you can see two distinctive layers. You have the base which colour and texture wise looks just like the biscuit base of a cheesecake, and the top layer same texture but pink in colour. So when I took off the lid, of course this is a scrub, so the pink section isn’t whipped or cream like but a jam packed scrub which was identical to the bottom.

Texture

Lots and lots of very fine grains. Think of caster sugar consistency. Its not a totally dry sugar scrub as I could feel a light coating of some sort, but it doesn’t sit in a pot full of oil and grease.

Fragrance

Strawberry Cheesecake Sugar Body Scrub has two layers to it and two different fragrances. The top layer is fruity, strawberry/berry like and sweet but not sickly. The bottom layer has a light citrus, orange hint to it with a little vanilla. This gives it a bakery type of scent which makes this scrub not only look like a cheesecake but smell similar to one too!

In the shower

I used this scrub on wet skin while in the shower. I used enough to cover three fingertips and applied it to the top half of my body. Then delved in for a little more for the rest of me. It spread over my skin easily, and I could feel the grains of sugar working against it providing an exfoliating action. The scent was there which I loved, and made this a pleasure not a chore.

On the skin

After I applied this, I had a bath ready to slip into, so I could gently rinse this off. Once it was off I was surprised how soft and silky my skin felt. My skin felt very moisturised as if some form of light oil had been applied to it. Once my body was dried, it still felt silky soft, highly moisturised but not greasy. I could even detect the fragrance on my skin too which was very light but still delicious.

Recommended?

This is a beautiful scrub. The look of it is fun, the fragrance is mouth watering but it’s still a hard working product. It does everything you want a scrub to do and is enjoyable to use. These combined mean I would buy this again in a heartbeat! This is one of those products which is a great treat for yourself or perfect for gift giving.
